Awesome review! I absolutely love my 3P what an industrial percussion power house. Fun to hit with drum sticks but what you do with the Octatrack sounds amazing!
I really like my ND3P. I use it as a raw sample source and used it for drum practice. It's extremely powerful and you can do many things with it. I will not be losing it any time soon.
Love how modulating via midi cc can unlock the 3p's expressive features. That sounded craaaazy! Haven't tried that yet on mine. No room for me to fit an octatrack into my setup but I might try modding it with a bastl midi looper.
@@blush_response help me with my TD-3 MO dilemma. I’m on a tight budget so I can’t afford Triptych or anything in that price range. What’s the cheapest option to get the sound of your demo? This box is the hell’s gate as it is, but just 303s is not enough. Sorry for creeping you out in comments.
That's actually true. A Nord3 without the pads and individual outs, and a modulation matrix like the microFreak or the Blofeld would be amazing tool. Other wise just pair it with the Octatrack and get those amazing breaks ;)
I think the biggest reason why the 3P doesn't get the appreciation it deserves is because of those 6 huge pads. Who really wants those other than people that actually play the drums? I'd never buy it because it unnecessarily takes up sooo much space. If Nord would make a desktop or/and 19" rack version (looks like it would fit into a 19" rack perfectly as is without those pads) it would sell like hot buns, I'm sure. In general I really don't see the point why Nord got rid of rack formats across all their products. Who wants to buy another keyboard for every single synth? I know I don't.
I actually love using the pads (and a kick pedal) to record some drum patterns into my sequencer that sound a bit more "human" as velocity and timing vary a tiny bit when playing "live".
Leave it to Joey to show what this beast is really capable of. Would be a lot more fun with knobs and wigglers. I wonder how much could be done with a MIDI control surface? I don't have a Wave 2 but I have 2 Waves. A modern masterpiece.
Here's a trick for recording rhythms: While you can set the NordDrum 3P to receive MIDI for each pad on a different channel, it sends all pads on MIDI channel 16 - with a note value 60 for pad 1, 62 for pad 2 etc. I use a Midisolutions Event Processor to change the channel of those notes: channel 16, note 60 from pad 1 becomes channel 10, note 60, channel 16, note 62 from pad 2 becomes channel 11, note 62 and so on. Thus I can use drum sticks to record rhythms into my sequencer with seperate channels for each pad. I love drumming with sticks on the pads and I find this way more intuitive than finger drumming on a keyboard. Also I sent beats to the Nord Drum 3P at something like 1440bpm, resulting in a square wave tone, it's amazing how capable this little machine is (you can hear that in this video at 2'36" ua-cam.com/video/cxPEc3vGlMg/v-deo.html)
Oooh I forgot about the midi LFOs on the Octatrack. Just picked up the Nord drum 2 with the Nord pad. I plan on triggering it between the pad and Octatrack and processing it with the Octatrack as well. Can’t wait to get it set up. Was planning on triggering it with the pad and my modular but you reminding me of the OT’s midi LFOs made me rethink the way I’m going to set it up either way I end up doing it I’m stoked. Eventually I want to integrate it into a live setup
i love the nord drum 3... i pair it with hermod+ and get jiggy wid it :)_ ANd I agree, if they made this w/o pads, but with a nice sequencer and mod section... the form factor is nice, and built as you would expect from Nord. cheers!
Wish they did a 3p module with 6 cv trig inputs, nord drum2 is just crazy prices now. Could get a 3p and a digitakt for the same money 🤔 Great to hear you push the boundaries of this machine though 🤛
Love my ND3, made the investment a few years back after hearing Barker's record. Great fun with a midi keyboard too - just need to figure out how to rig up a voice assigner in max now.
This and/or the 2 would be incredible if it had dedicated outputs for each channel. Really hard in 2022 to have just a stereo out on a drum machine. (Nord, if you're listening...) @Blush, there's no way to route this in Midi to separate DAW audio tracks right?
nice! great review. i got mine for live drummimg making my own "breaks" and mainly for those awesome industrial strength drums. i'm def checking out more of your videos. pls make more nd3p videos
what is the end goal of the Nord Drum 3p? is it meant to sit like this as in your set up among other electronics on a rack or was it meant to be played on for live performances as Mini.tool to play drums electronically? or how to best understand Clavia's idea of this unique little product... I went to a store and found it the other day, I needed up sitting and playing non-stop for two hours,.. ha ha.. it was truly addictive... but I am a drummer not a producer or mixer.. So, am new to electronic music production... but it was something about that little pad set up that made me stay.. so checked around UA-cam and found your video now, is kind of amazing what you can do with it, really cool!
Amazing content as usual. This Nord drum sounds simply beautyfull. I wonder how much "overlap" it may have with a nordModular, meaning how close can you get designing patches sounding like the nordDrum within the nordModular. If I'm not wrong, besides the effects part, shouldn't be possible to program something similar to the nordDrum using the nordModular and its drums modules? Would be great info to know as you already own the nordModular too. I remember the drum module from the nordModular also is splitted nto parts like noise, transient, etc, pretty similar to the nordDrum, isn't it?
I think the nord drum series is the most f'd up clavia came up with. The nord drum 1 got a mono out, 4 sounds, basic synthesis and no midi cc nor preset management. The nord drum 2 is a bit better with 6 sounds, stereo out, presets can be loaded and CC controlled. The nord drum 3p is the most advanced, but there are those stupid pads and why only stereo out? It could have individual outs. Wish list for nord drum 4: engine is fine, add individual outs, get rid of the built in trigger pads, maybe add a drum sequencer.
Interesting. I recall watching Red Means Recording's video on it linked to his Digitakt a while back. Interesting to see how different your two approaches are to it (obviously you make different types of music) and the range of sounds the engine can produce. ua-cam.com/video/tQSN9ZTB0nc/v-deo.html
The Syntakt doesnt even come near to the Norddrum sound. ND is just amazing I have a ND2 and the engine is very similar, just a few things missing on the 3. But you get the FX on the 3, I would rather have the 3 in a smaller formfactor
The velocity sensitivity of all the timbre parameters makes this actually highly modulatable! But yeah, maybe not in the traditional synth sense with LFOs and so forth.
People always complaining about the onboard efx. They must not own a 3P because I've always thought they were fine for the purpose they serve. Your video also does a great job of demonstrating them.
that was sick as shit joey. not my style of music, but was really fun watching you vibe. loved the sounds of the 3p, but to get the most of out it an external sequencer is a must, which is why i ended up selling it. i used the westlicht performer euro module to sequence it when i had it, but it was a pain to program, best i could do were different trigger patterns over midi. love how joey sequenced the pitch here. i'd be interested in trying it again if i could find a good option (although elektron is definitely not my bag.) what are other people using?
This is my favorite Nord Drum 3P review ever. I watched it a dozen times before I bought mine and I've watched it a few times since. It's such a great jam and your commentary is spot on as lyrical punctuation. I've always been a little bit disappointed in any piece of gear I've wanted for a long time, at least at first, but not the ND3P. It has vastly exceeded my hopes and expectations and is probably the best thing I have ever owned in my life.
I love it! It's the only piece of gear I ever loved more than I hoped once I actually got it. Sounds amazing. UA-cam doesn't do it justice.@@xrkalitza38

Why the nerd seq has that squeezy screen?
Nice demo! I love my ND2 to bits - perfect footprint + UI, and outstanding sound engine of course.
Man, this sounds stellar 😍

Proper content mate! Great performance as well, you just reminded me to look into this nord again.
You need to tell Nord to make a padless version.
And individual outs pls!
That would be the Nord Drum 2
@@SIAKPHDLIVE except you can’t buy a new ND2 or one at a used reasonable price.
Right yes. They’ve been overpriced for the last couple years.

Nice hack! I should check this out.
Actually, yes you can send each pad to a different MIDI channel. I have mine sending from MIDI Channels 1-6 :)
Bloody brilliant. Patiently waiting for my 3p to arrive :D
great jam!!
Wish it had separate outs. Love it

I do love the ND3. It can sound rough and huge or it can do really nice and 'organic' percussion. Quality unit.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAA...VERY GOOD..Enteraros que os estoy explicando las cosas...ANIMO Y VAYAMOS TODOS CON ALEGRIAS...
Love checking out yer jams brother good to see you digging into more stuff. I got some videos to catch up on!!
Wish they did a 3p module with 6 cv trig inputs, nord drum2 is just crazy prices now.
Could get a 3p and a digitakt for the same money 🤔
Great to hear you push the boundaries of this machine though 🤛
One of my absolute favorites. I’ll never sell it.
Your channel is dope af.
Sounds pretty sick !
Love my ND3, made the investment a few years back after hearing Barker's record. Great fun with a midi keyboard too - just need to figure out how to rig up a voice assigner in max now.
I really think I need one of these.

Nope, no individual outs are possible. I just resample it into my OT and RYTM
Do the drumbrute mk1(the big one:p) is the never spoken about Industrial og
Brutal! 💪I'd say the closest to this as a tweakable drum machine would be the LXR-02, maybe. Still no cigar, tho.
yeah bro this shit goes so hard
Damn just missed a nord drum 1 for 200! The 2 seems harder to find, is it that much better?
I Love ND. it's amazing.
Brutal Sounds
Watched this twice in a row beginning to end lol
nice! great review. i got mine for live drummimg making my own "breaks" and mainly for those awesome industrial strength drums. i'm def checking out more of your videos. pls make more nd3p videos
I'm geting one 100%
Sounds great. ...But what about the noise everyone complains about? Great video as usual.
+ one for tweakable nord. btw the velocity curves and mappings makes this unit unrivaled for dynamic drumming
what is the end goal of the Nord Drum 3p? is it meant to sit like this as in your set up among other electronics on a rack or was it meant to be played on for live performances as Mini.tool to play drums electronically? or how to best understand Clavia's idea of this unique little product...

Why don't nord do a groovebox? I imagine it would sell like hotcackes.
So essentially this is a group of 6 mono synths? I got one for drums, but what you did was insane. 😅
acho que esta maquina era perfeita para te acompanhar nos tuas atuações ao vivo!!!!
You should check out Jomox Alpha Base
very cool🙃🔥thanks for sharing
ThanksJoey
Damnit…you sold me.

watchdog what's your synth rack? I can't find one similar in Aus. It looks perfect for functionality and style. TIA
Guessing it’s a Jasper
awesome---
you need an mmm controller ;-)

This was amazing! And yes, I'd GAS so hard for a machine like this with more modulation 🤩
The velocity sensitivity of all the timbre parameters makes this actually highly modulatable! But yeah, maybe not in the traditional synth sense with LFOs and so forth.
MAN I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
I dig how the dive into what it can do turns into a solid performance. Well done.
Thoroughly worthwhile workout. Joey's diabolical larf is perfect counterpoint. This man's mind is stupendous.
Fuck yeah
People always complaining about the onboard efx. They must not own a 3P because I've always thought they were fine for the purpose they serve. Your video also does a great job of demonstrating them.
Nord haven't made any sequencers afaik, maybe they have an agreement with Elektron not to step on each other's turf, product-wise.
that was sick as shit joey. not my style of music, but was really fun watching you vibe.
loved the sounds of the 3p, but to get the most of out it an external sequencer is a must, which is why i ended up selling it. i used the westlicht performer euro module to sequence it when i had it, but it was a pain to program, best i could do were different trigger patterns over midi. love how joey sequenced the pitch here. i'd be interested in trying it again if i could find a good option (although elektron is definitely not my bag.) what are other people using?
